And 'FC Hollywood' came out on top in the group phase of last season's Champions League, with Kim Min Jae scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win.
And now Kane is determined to come out on top, emphasising how Vincent Kompany's side believe they can beat anybody at their best.
"It's going to be another tough game," Kane told DAZN, who will show every match of the tournament live. "PSG have had an amazing season. We played them earlier in the year and we came out on top.
'We have to try and use that energy, that feeling, in this game. We know it will be difficult.
"But look, we feel like we can beat anyone when we're at our level. We've shown it in the tournament so far.

'It's going to be another tough game. We're going to have to recover well and get ready for it."
Kane also paid credited the Brazilians for their resilience in the last 16 clash, but underlined Bayern's composure to finish the job.

'It was a really tough game,' Kane admitted. 'Tough opponent and difficult conditions. I thought we played really well for large spells of the game.
'But every time we went two goals up, they scored. The last goal eased the nerves a bit and we were able to control the game.'

Former Chelsea winger Charly Musonda announces retirement after recurring injury issues
Former Chelsea midfielder Charly Musonda has announced his retirement from professional football. The 28-year-old winger was once heralded as one of Chelsea's most promising talents and a player who was set to become a mainstay in the Belgium national team. However, recurring injury issues hampered Musonda's career, leading to him announcing his premature retirement from the game in an interview with Rising Ballers. Advertisement 'It took some time,' Musonda said. 'I have been thinking about it for the last couple of years. Purely because of my own experiences and who I am as a person. 'I want to be doing things with purpose. I want to inspire and motivate people. I want to create opportunities. I am starting something new that will hopefully help players. 'Today, I have made a decision. It is a decision I have been wrestling with for a long time, but I am going to retire from professional football. It is not an easy decision, but I am building up towards the next stage now. 'I will still be involved in football. In roles to help players express themselves and giving them an opportunity to showcase how good they are.' Musonda joined Chelsea from Anderlecht in 2012 and was part of the famed Chelsea youth academy sides of the early 2010s. He made his name alongside figures like Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Dominic Solanke, Andreas Christensen, Trevor Chalobah, Ola Aina, Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham. Recurring knee and muscle injuries, including a long-term knee injury suffered while playing for Vitesse Arnhem in August 2019 that kept him out of action for almost three years, halted his career. Musonda went on to play for Real Betis, Celtic, Vitesse, and Levante before ending his career in Cyprus. The winger also featured for Belgium's national youth sides but never earned a senior cap. Musonda ends his career having made just 82 first-team appearances across his career. His last appearance came in the Cypriot second division while playing for Doxa Katokopias in January 2024. When asked about his struggles with injury, Musonda told The Athletic in 2023: 'It was draining, it sucked the life out of me. 'It's something I look back on and I'm proud of myself for it. I was alone for a long time. It was very lonely, very tough. Had I been fully fit and had a bigger opportunity, then obviously things could have gone differently. 'But at the end of the day, that's life, that's the way things go, and you have to have faith in the future.'

Manchester City vs. Al Hilal Betting Odds, Best Bets: City Heavy Favorites
Jeremy Doku and Manchester City are heavily favored in tonight's Club World Cup Round of 16 matchup vs. Saudi side Al Hilal. Jeremy Doku and Manchester City are heavily favored in tonight's Club World Cup Round of 16 matchup vs. Saudi side Al Hilal. Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The FIFA Club World Cup continues with tonight's round of 16 matchup between EPL juggernaut Manchester City and Al Hilal. Al Hilal is one of the biggest underdogs still standing in this competition, but the Saudi Pro League club did show in the group stage that it can hang with top-tier competition. Al Hilal drew Real Madrid and Red Ball Salzburg in its first two CWC matches, then beat Liga MX side Pachuca 2-0 to emerge from Group H. Manchester City is coming off a disappointing Premier League campaign in which it finished in third place behind Liverpool and Arsenal. It was dominant in Group G, though, outscoring Wydad AC, Al Ain and Juventus by a combined score of 13-2. 2025 Champions League winner PSG (+250) are the current favorites to win this tournament, but City have the next-shortest odds at +275 (DK) as of June 30. Manchester City vs. Al Hilal Betting Odds Below are the odds from three top sportsbooks in the two most popular markets for soccer matches: three-way moneyline and match winner. Manchester City vs. Al Hilal Three-Way Moneyline Odds The DraftKings, FanDuel and bet365 three-way moneyline odds below apply to today's result after 90 minutes, plus stoppage time. DK FD bet365 Man City -380 -480 -450 Al Hilal +550 +550 +550 Draw +900 +900 +1100 Manchester City vs. Al Hilal Winner Odds Sportsbooks also offer each team's odds to advance tonight. In this market, it doesn't matter whether the winner comes out on top in 90 minutes, extras or PKs. DK FD bet365 Man City -1000 -1250 -900 Al Hilal +550 +710 +550 How to Watch Manchester City vs. Al Hilal Club World Cup Kickoff : 7 p.m. ET : 7 p.m. ET TV: TBS/DAZN Manchester City vs. Al Hilal Betting Analysis Based on the betting odds for this game, anyone unfamiliar with Al Hilal might assume that its roster lacks high-end talent. That's hardly the case, though. Former Sevilla keeper Bono, former Wolverhampton midfielder Ruben Neves, former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic and ex-Man City right back João Cancelo are among a handful of proven vets who now play for the Riyadh-based club in the Saudi Pro League. Another Al Hilal player to watch is 22-year-old Brazilian forward Marcos Leonardo. He scored 17 goals in the SPL this year and is coming off a strong showing vs. Pachuca in Al Hilal's group stage finale, with two shots on target and a goal. City won the EPL in six of the last eight seasons, and they also took home the Champions League trophy in 2023. Pep Guardiola's team boasts stars at every position, including Erling Haaland up top. The 24-year-old already has two goals and an assist in this competition despite playing 45 minutes or less in two of City's three games. In the other tournament that is taking place in the United States right now -- the Gold Cup -- sticking with the betting favorites has not paid off. Canada and Panama both went out in the semifinals in shocking losses to Guatemala and Honduras. The United States also needed PKs in a semifinal match vs. Costa Rica that it was expected to win comfortably, but did survive. Although the possibility in knockout soccer for upsets (or underdogs to at least force games into extra time or PKs) is always high, I don't see Al Hilal threatening Man City tonight. So, the question is how to find some value while backing the favorites in a game this lopsided (at least according to oddsmakers). City, which shut out its first two opponents in the Club World Cup, is a solid bet to keep a clean sheet tonight, and they're available at plus money to win in a shutout. If there's one value bet tonight, that would be the one. Another solid way to cash in if City wins, even if this game ends up being competitive, is Man City half time/full time.
